This was an unexpected surprise on a long bus trip out of Bangkok. The four Thai guys are NOT in Africa; they are in Thailand. The bus driver calls out implausible Thai locations, but the locale changes into Africa, then into the American Wild West, then back into Thailand. All the Africans (and the American cowboys) speak Thai, and the ghosts are Thai, Chinese, British and African. One of the African "cannibals" tells them that he used to work as a comedian in Bangkok.
The movie is loaded with pop culture jokes, including references to The Wild Bunch, Tsui Hark movies, a cameo by a Charles Bronson look-alike and tons of jokes about those brain-numbing ghost comedies. There are also many movie-within-a-movie frame changes and a cool ending where they go over the script of the movie we just saw.
Recommended ONLY if you already have seen some of those Thai comedies -- most of the jokes would otherwise be over your head.
